The MDAC 2.8 is a Software Development Kit for developers who are building applications using ADO, OLE DB, and ODBC. It contains updated documentation, headers, libs and typelibs for x86, IA64 and AMD64 platforms, as well as updated sample applications and developer tools.

After you have installed MDAC SDK, you can find ODBC documents under “Docs” directory. There is a very useful and powerful ODBC testing tool “Odbcte32.exe” under “Tools” directory, which can help you construct ODBC API calls to test the ODBC driver.
